The 1999 Chevy Blazer seems to be the modern day Yugo. With all the problems, how can we make GM take notice?

At 36,500 miles already replaced my second set of ball joints. The idler arms have been changed. New tires, shocks, three batteries, alternator, serpantine belt at 10,000 miles, AWD switch, power lumbar seats stopped working, leaks oil, changed emergency break cable. Electrical disturbances randomly occur. Four alignments and the car still pulls right. Mechanics are puzzled. This vehicle has never been off road, the oil is changed every 3,000 miles and is garage kept. It has never been involved in an accident since I bought it brand new from the dealer. It appears most owners of the s-10 blazer from 1995 on have experienced very similar problems. Especially front end ones. The car looks brand new but it's a total money pit and after just finishing front end work it still has a severe pull to the right. Any help would be appreciated.The 1999 Chevy Blazer seems to be the modern day Yugo. With all the problems, how can we make GM take notice?
gm took notice, they quit making it, they now they make a trailblazer, its completely different, i worked in a chevy dealership as a heavy line tech, and i haven't seen that many problems so soon, they usually happen at 60k milesThe 1999 Chevy Blazer seems to be the modern day Yugo.

Sorry to hear all of your problems with your Blazer. The best thing for you to do is to trade it in for a different vehicle.
Please don`t insult my YUGO like that please. lol.
I almost got a 1998 2wd and a 1999 4wd. I didn't due to reliability reports.
send an email to Chevrolet telling them as short but detailed as you can what you have been experiencing and that you wont be a chevrolet customer ever again - i dont know if that will help any, but it might
BLT is right. They took notice and built the entirely new Trailblazer.



pbleek - Toyota recalled more cars than any other company in the world. Their quality isn't all that either.
I feel your pain just had a transmission put in a 2001 blazer it had four ball bearings replaced twice each side, idler arm, pitman arm, alignment, shocks, struts, several adjustments to the suspension and to top it all off a friend of ours took it and bent the frame so the doors stopped shutting. They really f-ed up with this car it is a f-in joke how much this car has cost me
Sorry to hear about all your problems. I have a 2000 Blazer with about 80,000 miles on it, and the only thing that's gone wrong is the gas guage stopped working.
Its hard to believe you have so many problems......... i want to know two things who is doing your work, and did you buy the car new most 8 year old cars dont havr 36500 miles on them.
I see another very satisfied Toyota customer in your future.
